- Belloni needs to go.
I know he is a founder of this but damn, Belloni is insufferable to listen to. He’s so negative, talks over people, and just detracts from what should be interesting and entertaining at the same time.

Keeps talking over guests and he’s extremely politically opinionated
Apple Podcasts1JJkollinsUnited Statesa month ago - Insane and Untrue Commentary
KIMMEL WAS TAKEN OFF FOR LYING. It was not a joke - he lied about Kirk’s assassin. Read the room? People don’t pile on when someone dies? Did you even pay attention at all to what was going on with your Democrat party when Charlie Kirk was assassinated? Your lack of self-awareness is stunning not to mention your hypocrisy. Leave the politics at the door whenever you’re this uninformed. Trump’s tweet was nothing compared to the left’s celebration over Kirk. Also, we are already seeing the payoffs... more
Apple Podcasts3Real Critic_United Statesa month ago - Insufferable
Its amazing someone can be so arrogant and so uninformed at the same time. The podcast is basically just a guy parroting corporate talking points. But if you ignore the casual bigotry and corporate shilling, it’s still just a bad listen. The guy is arrogant and has no insights. The reason for two stars and not one is the producer Craig who gives a masterclass in humoring rich blowhards who don’t know as much as you.
Apple Podcasts1stubeef1789United Statesa month ago - Oscars to YouTube
Matt, I think your boys Lucas and Craig are right on this one. The Oscars going to YT doesn't feel cheap, just smart. I know more than a few geezers (60+ and up) who are YT TV savvy already and not just because they have kids. It's a more economical and practical streaming option for many on a fixed income. And offers a lot more than just shorts and kid stuff. Maybe don't presume so much that age precludes ability and knowledge when it comes to tech.
